DEDICATION MISS EMILY PITTMAN A friendly smile, a gay laugh, and a heart abounding with love for everyone are only a few of her characteristics which make her dear to every student in Suffolk High. Under her able leadership our Girls’ Basketball Teams have won the honor of being district champions for the past ten years. Not only does she coach the girls’ athletic teams, but she carries on her shoulders the task of making each student a healthy person through good exercise. Her gym classes, in addition to exercising our bodies, strengthen our character by stressing the importance of good sports¬ manship, one of the “musts” for a good citizen. Perhaps good sportsmanship would not reign so supremely if she were not the perfect example of it. Not often do we meet a person so adored and respected by all. Thus The Peanut of ’45 feels honored to have been dedicated to Miss Emily Pittman, our exceptional coach and faithful friend.

CHIEF JUSTICE.SUPERINTENDENT The highest position in our school is the superintendent ' s, held bv Mr. Stanley T. Godbey. This position closely resembles the office of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Just as the Chief Justice presides over the Supreme Court, so the superin¬ tendent leads the school board. Mr- Godbey not only super¬ vises this school, but also all of the schools in Suffolk. He is highly respected by all, always eager to help and friendly to all the students . SUPREME COURT.SCHOOL BOARD The Board, made up of influential citizens of Suffolk, is intrusted with the management of the educational system of the city. By reports from the superin¬ tendent they are kept in close contact with all the affairs of the schools. Any important change desired by the schools must have the permission of this board. Through the School Board and Mr. Godbey many improvements are gained for the students. MR. STANLEY T. GODBEY Left to Right: R. N. Baker, Edwin Coulbourtie, Harvard R. Birdsong, I)r. F.
